I would hazard a guess that Schumer is okay with them doing this. They may not be needed to reach 41, and if wehave 41, we can filibuster. If we filibuster and McConnell pulls the nuclear trigger, their votes stop it. If he doesn’t, their votes won’t matter.

If they can hold their seats as Democrats in states that would otherwise vote Republican, it’s probably not a terrible trade off. Gorsuch will likely vote the same way that Scalia would have voted, so the balance of the court isn’t changing with this appointment (as I mentioned yesterday, it’s the next two or three appointments that will matter in that regard). Two additional Democrats in the Senate are probably more valuable long term for Democratic/progressive interests.
Paul Ryan, less Sham Wow and more Shake Weighty…
If Ryan was any more flyweight when it comes to policy, he’d float away entirely on the baffling BS that he spews incessantly.
I’m not just talking about his statement today that he views the ultimate goal of getting rid of all govt health care - Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, etc.
I’m talking of his absolute ignorance about how anything works. He doesn’t care that he doesn’t care how anything works. Neither do his constituents or the GOP at large. They’ve succeeded precisely because they don’t care how anything works, and think that govt is the problem, when it’s about the only thing keeping them going.

Democratic seats up in 2018 in states won by Trump:
Montana, North Dakota, Indiana, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Missouri
The only potential pick ups for Democrats are Nevada and a long shot in Arizona. Oh, and Florida and Virginia are also up this year.
If Democrats want to hold the Senate, a few defectors on things like this are probably going to happen, because otherwise, I don’t know if Democrats can get to 51+ seats in the Senate. For some on the left, it will appear as Republican-liteism. But to the voters that these Senators will actually need to win reelection, it’s an example of them being a representative of their voters.

It’s early, but I see the Ohio Democratic Party working on Portman right now as hard as I’ve ever seen them go after a seat they want.

Trump’s version of lying is really the worst kind of lying. It’s not muddling the facts, it’s not spin, it’s not even flatly misstating the facts. It’s saying whatever is necessary in that particular moment, usually in order to get applause. There’s no consideration of the truth or what the short/medium/long term effects of the statement are. It’s simply, “this is what people want to hear, so that’s what I’m going to say.”

It’s literally bullshitting, not lying. He doesn’t know or care what’s true, but his followers see his willingness to say anything as indicative of honesty, so they believe him.
This really is the “make shit up” administration.

I suspect Portman, Stabenow (Michigan), Baldwin (Wisconsin), and Casey (Pennsylvania) will be safe by 2018.
The one’s worth watching are Tester in Montana (49%), Heitkamp in North Dakota (50%), Donnelly in Indiana (50.04%).
And Manchin in West Virginia is just a weird case. He won 61% of the vote in 2012, and he’s from a local political family (his father and grandfather were mayors, his uncle served in the legislature, as Treasurer, and as Secretary of State). So he may be a hold, but I’ve no real sense of West Virginian politics.

In other words, bullshit. Trump and most Republicans could not possibly care less whether or not their statements are true or false. The only thing that matters is their utility as talking points.

Spot on. This is also how right-wing radio hatemongers have gained so much traction. Limbaugh and his ilk simply say what people want to hear, when they want to hear it.
IMO they think that the left is driven by the same motivation, that desire to have someone tell us what we want to hear. Ergo, I think RWNJs truly believe that what the left/progressives want to hear is, “the government is going to give you free stuff.”

Kansas governor vetoes Medicaid expansion, teeing up fight with state legislature
Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R) on Thursday vetoed a bill that would have expanded Medicaid in the deep-red state under terms set by the Affordable Care Act, pitting him against the state legislature — including many members of his own party — which overwhelmingly voted in favor of the measure earlier this week.
The bill now goes back to the legislature, where supporters of the bill will try to wrangle a two-thirds majority to override the governor’s veto. The bill is just five votes away from becoming veto proof — three in the House and two in the Senate.

That Flynn and his attorney are talking to the FBI and members of the Senate indicates to me that he wants to get in front of what he knows will be coming out about Trump & Co. It also shows that in order to stay out of prison, he’s more than willing to drop a “dime” on Trump & Co., including Trump. I can well imagine that Trump & Co. are sh*tting bullets in the WH right about now. I hope Flynn talks and reveals to the world what we already know about Trump—-that he is a self-serving, unrepentant liar. Maybe then, those who are claiming he’s right about everything will sit down and STFU. The guy has always been in over his head, from the minute second he decided to run for POTUS.
